Ingredients

For the margarita

3 watermelon, seedless- (1/8 of a watermelon cut in chunks) to yield 1 cup of juice

For the mint simple syrup

1 Cup water

1 Cup sugar

1 small handful mint leaves (or lemon balm)

Directions

For the margarita

First, place watermelon chunks into blender and very carefully pushing down with wooden spoon, pulse until watermelon becomes watery. Once enough water is in blender to flow freely, blend it all up into a liquid. If you have more than 1 cup of watermelon juice in the blender, remove the extra (save for another batch). Add the rest of the ingredients and blend. Run a lime wedge around rim of glass and dip in either coarse salt or raw sugar. Cut a garnish if you like. Pour into prepared glasses and enjoy!

For the mint simple syrup

Place everything in a small pan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil. Stir to make sure all sugar is dissolved. Turn off and remove from heat. Let cool. Strain out mint leaves and store in an airtight container in fridge.
